We’re looking for the nicest neighbours in town, and Pam Driver of Burswood has shared her lovely neighbours, David and Lara Hurst, saying they “are just wonderful”.

We’re looking for the nicest neighbours in town, and Pam Driver of Burswood has shared her lovely neighbours, David and Lara Hurst, saying they “are just wonderful”.

This year, Pam had a missing cat, which was quite out of character. Driver let the Hursts know, and they joined the search, successfully locating him in the gap between the ceiling and roof of their neighbour’s house.

Pam said “They rescued him and brought him home to me... complete with some scratches! I hate to think what would have happened had he not been found”.

Pam nominated the Hursts to let them know she is thankful for them: “It’s so good to know I have such caring neighbours who have my back. Thank you neighbours!”

Nominate someone in your hood, and your special neighbour could feature on Stuff and Neighbourly as an inspiration to us all (plus there are prizes to be won!).

Big show for a long weekend, on East FM, Saturday from high noon...

New music by Kiwi artists Marmalade, Goblin Problem, Justin Devereux, and Dr Reknaw – and a little Howick Softball talk – feature on tomorrow’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, at the NEW TIME of midday to 4pm (NZ time, October 21) on East FM.

We’ll open with the new single by Howick’s Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Justin Devereux – Coming To A Town Near You – which only came out today, October 20 – so it’s hot off the press.

We’re joined in-studio by Peter Carey, president of Howick Softball, at 12.30pm, who’s pitching up to chat about the new season set to swing into action.

Marmalade, the exciting, upbeat punk-pop five-piece, have just spread the news about their tasty new single Awkward, and we’ll be talking with Koen Aldershof of the band at 1.15pm and giving it a spin, along with their last single out in June, Bright.
“With a slightly sassy delivery, Awkward navigates the morning-after regret of a situation your extroverted self got you in to,” he says.
Marmalade are Jemilah Ross-Hayes (lead vocals), Koen Aldershof (rhythm guitar, lead vocals), Liam Nuttall (lead guitar, BVs), Chelsea Naepi (bass, BVs), and Dean Rodrigues (drums).

At 2pm, we’ll be chatting with Jack Buchanan, who has solo synth-pop project Goblin Problem, a new four-song EP, The Problem, which we’ll discuss and play.
Buchanan’s a multi-instrumentalist and also a member of Cheap Sav For Dead Friends, who we featured a few weeks ago.
There’s an element of stepping back into the synthensizer-led 1980s about The Problem, with Blackout Music saying “Goblin Problem’s unique brand of alt-dance indietronica synth-pop is inspired by artists such as Hot Chip, John Grant, Depeche Mode, and LCD Soundsystem”.

“Cheery themes of nihilism, confusion, and self-destruction are at the heart of Buchanan’s lyrics, presented with a dry, self-aware humour. Goblin Problem delights in the general confusion at being alive, and the difficulty and absurdity of the world we live in, threads firmly juxtaposed against the backdrop of his bright and playful instrumentation.”

Says Buchanan: “I love to party, and I really like the idea of making party music that is about how bad the party is. It should make you want to dance and cry in equal measure, or hopefully it makes people just want to dance and yell and have the time of their lives.”

The other Aotearoa musicians we’ll feature are Dr Reknaw, a roots-folk-reggae ensemble fronted by sisters Julia and Sophie Cooper, whose album Rektified we featured a couple of years ago.
Dr Reknaw have a new four-song EP out, Portal, and are presently touring it in concerts around the North Island.

East FM is East Auckland’s fair-dinkum community-powered public service radio station, on 88.1FM and 107.1FM on local frequencies, nationally and globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on app iHeart Radio.
She’ll Be Right - it’s all about the vibe; it’s all about the groove. And this Saturday, it’s all about fresh new original Kiwi music releases. – PJ

I have the starter itself as pictured, straining pouches x 2 plus instructions to make your own Kefir.
Its very easy to do, you need a glass container, lid and some milk.

This is a live milk kefir culture (known as grains but they are soft and squishy) originating in the Caucasus mountain region of Russia and when taken care of will last forever.

Kefir is incredibly healthy for the gut and contains billions of microorganisms. Probiotics promote a healthy balance of gut bacteria and have been linked to a wide range of health benefits. These include benefits for weight loss, digestive health, immune function and more.

This starter will transform milk into kefir and can be a drink (add to smoothie, pancakes or even used to make into cheese.
